ATLANTA, GA — UPPER, a woman-founded, AI-enabled talent sourcing platform for end-to-end talent scouting, today set out its take on AI recruitment software: the work starts at the shortlist. From one job description, UPPER sources across major job channels at the same time, scores every candidate against the actual role, runs outreach, and manages engagement until top-ranked candidates with CVs are ready to be contacted.

Recruitment teams do not lack applicants; they lack hours. The days go to searching channel by channel, scoring resumes by eye, and chasing replies. UPPER removes that grind and hands the hiring manager a ranked, evidenced shortlist that can be judged in minutes, so the human conversation starts days earlier.

"UPPER exists because I watched the same week repeat: write the job description, burn days on manual searching and scoring, send outreach into the void, and lose the best people before the first call," said Rachel Messing, founder and CEO of UPPER. "So we built the machine to do the digging. Machines source, score, and recommend; people decide."

The company states that teams using UPPER save 50-70% of the time they previously spent on sourcing, screening, and outreach. UPPER is available now to talent teams and staffing firms in any industry. Details at https://www.upperlev.com
